Service Specific Comments on the Asia trip
4/13 Laem Chabang (Bangkok’s alternate port since the red shirts decided to become violent the day before)
Brook wakes up and feels normal. This is the day that the vacation actually begins for me, although yesterday was pretty good.
Today is our first port day and Brook and I have decided to take separate tours, but we have also decided this is a good idea. One, Brook’s shorter tour is probably better for her considering how poorly she has been feeling lately, and two, we will have a lot to talk about afterward.
My tour starts first thing in the morning and lasts all day. I tour ruins in Ayutthaya and the Bang Pa In Summer Palace with some elephant riding in between. Brook tours the elephant rescue ranch.
Although I don’t have pictures of me riding an elephant, the pictures do a better job explaining what I saw than I could.
4/14 Laem Chabang Day 2
Did not go ashore. Worked out, slept.
